Resource Information

The item Introductory Readings in Geographic Information Systems represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in University of Manitoba Libraries.

This item is available to borrow from all library branches.

Even though Geographic Information Systems GIS have been available for over 20 years, they have only recently become accessible to geographers and others as a useful tool in spacial analysis. This is a sampling of basic principles of GIS
